In Celina and nearby communities, exposure can occur in ways that don’t always look dramatic at the time:
- Yard and property spraying: Using weed killer on weekends, treating fence lines, or spot-treating weeds that keep returning.
- Seasonal mowing and cleanup: Handling treated growth after spraying—especially when residue is still present on grass, brush, or equipment.
- Worksite contact: Landscaping, groundskeeping, facility maintenance, and agricultural operations where herbicides are applied as part of regular routines.
- Take-home contamination: Work clothes, gloves, boots, or tools that are stored and reused at home.
Because exposure can be spread out over months or years, many people don’t connect the dots until a diagnosis arrives. The sooner you begin organizing your history, the easier it is to build a credible timeline.
